Kiki is GREAT! Super friendly and you can tell she loves what she makes. Attention to detail in all of her food. And if you are looking for quesabirria tacos this is the BEST QUESABIRRIA TACOS on the island. Typically they are only served on Tuesdays though so be aware.

One of the best tacos i ever had

Tuesday is Birria Tacos and they are amazing. The augacate sauce or avocado salsa is tasty. The taco shell is crispy. Tastes just right. On Fridays they have seafood and other authentic meat favorites like lengua, cabeza, cachete, cochinita pibil, barbacoa, and others. I tried the chocolate chip chile cookie, which was interestingly yummy. Just the right amount of heat for a new but harmless experience.

Vegetarian options: You can choose your protein but the menu is limited. I do not recommend for vegetarian

Dietary restrictions: You have to ask the cook

Parking: Free lot off the freeway between Ainaloa and Pahoa

Kid-friendliness: Large grass lot

Wheelchair accessibility: Grass lot. Do-able but not paved.

Best taco outside of Boyle Heights in east LA! Autentico! They put their heart into their cooking and it shines through. Have eaten here many times and have sampled the entire menu. Where do I begin? Tuesday's birria offering is truly one of the best things I've ever eaten. Crunchy, cheesy, meaty and loaded with flavor. This is birria like your abuela used to make. Friday things get interesting. Offerings range from fried battered fish and shrimp, to carnitas (for $3!), tender and flavorful carne asada, exotics like chicken mole, lingua, barbacoa, chicken or ricotta taquitos. There are others but these stand out. My personal favorite is the shrimp, generous portion where there is a big piece of shrimp in every bite. I say that you can go to Taco Aina and get one taco and be full, but you'll buy a second (third or fouth) because they are so delicious. Cute set up off the highway, gives you the feel of Mexico with its bright colors and interesting knick knacks. Order taking staff is friendly and helpful, cook is busy! This is not fast food, it is good flavorful food prepared as fast as possible. If it's busy be prepared to wait - it will be worth it!

Literally the best taco of my life. Had birria tacos today at the stand and wished I was hungrier to order more. So friendly, great prices, best taco I've ever had. Just go here and don't get just 1 you'll regret it.

Whoaaaaa! These are the best tacos I've EVER found on the big island and possibly in my entire life. Which says ALOT because I grew up on authentic mexican food. I couldn't believe how delicious. My only criticism might be more of a recommendation, to double-up on the tortilla because they fall apart almost immediately. The meat also has more fat than I'm into but was seasoned so well it didn't even matter. The pickled peppers \\u0026 fruit was honestly the highlight of the entire meal. I even tasted cinnamon in there which somehow blended in gorgeously. LOVE!

Amazing tacos, quite possibly the best I've ever had! Fantastic prices, and they even come with an extra cup of sauce to take home. 10/10 would recommend
